Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 291 New Holy Phoenix

"OK!"

Xiao Li had no choice, but this time he wouldn't let Zi Yan take action. In his opinion, the Three Thousand Burning Flames shouldn't provoke an outrageously powerful being.

Zi Yan's fighting prowess needs to be carefully preserved; she's currently Xiao Li's most trusted trump card! She can't be allowed to get hurt!

Currently, there are only three and a half people on the continent who can pose a threat to Zi Yan: Soul Emperor, Gu Yuan, and Void Devouring Flame. The other half is the patriarchs of the Thunder and Flame clans joining forces!

However, given the current situation, it is unlikely that the imperial clans will join forces.

"Who cares what kind of trash he brings? It's a good opportunity to test the power of the Holy Phoenix!"

Xiao Li looked towards the depths of the Void Thunder Pool, where a figure was soaking in a place filled with black lightning—Black Demon Lightning!

"That should be about right! Holy Phoenix, come back!"

Xiao Li shouted, and the purple-gold figure in the dark lightning flashed with a bright light and appeared in front of Xiao Li in the blink of an eye.

"Not bad, not bad. Just as I thought, the Holy Puppet Technique only has the secret techniques for creating puppets and the equipment for creating puppets, but the puppets and equipment can never be integrated into one!"

Now that it's been soaking in the Black Demon Lightning for so many days, this puppet looks more like a war puppet!

Xiao Li commented that at this moment, not only was the Holy Phoenix's whole body purple-gold, but there were also some metal cylindrical objects on its arms, shoulders, and back. These objects seemed to be growing on the Holy Phoenix's arms, but this appearance was not like that of an ordinary creature.

"Have you been tinkering with this iron thing all this time?"

Zi Yan looked puzzled. She couldn't find Xiao Li, but she heard that he had come here from the Void Thunder Pool. Zi Yan didn't know what Xiao Li was here for.

Dong Ziyan punched Shenghuang's body, but Shenghuang didn't budge an inch!

"So hard? My punch would seriously injure an ordinary five-star Dou Sheng! Judging from your physical body alone, this iron lump is probably on par with a six-star Dou Sheng."

Zi Yan stroked her chin and looked Sheng Huang up and down.

"But that's not all! The Holy Puppet Technique compiles most of the secret techniques of ancient puppeteers. The ancient puppeteers also discovered that the puppets' attacks were extremely limited, relying solely on physical attacks. When faced with beings skilled in soul attacks, the puppets would even turn against them!"

The Holy Puppet Technique includes some puppet equipment that allows you to unleash energy attacks using the puppet's energy core—the magic core of a magical beast! However, this equipment is added on and can easily be knocked off during battle.

So I brought it into the Void Thunder Pool and used the power of thunder to fuse the puppet and equipment into one! Zi Yan, look at the cannon on the Holy Phoenix's right hand; it can fire ice-attribute battle qi energy waves!

Its left hand can fire highly poisonous battle aura, the two machine guns on its shoulders can fire extremely fast fireballs, and the largest cannon on its back can fire a full-force attack equivalent to that of a four-star Dou Sheng.

To create this perfect puppet, I consumed four semi-saint-level magic cores and two battle saint-level magic cores.

Xiao Li was introducing the puppet to Zi Yan. This puppet was made based on some war machine templates from movies and TV shows in his previous life. It not only has strong close combat capabilities, but also has super strong long-range attacks.

I wonder how long the battery life will be? I wonder if the magic core's energy will run out.

Zi Yan also took a second look at Sheng Huang. In her eyes, physical body and battle qi were the foundation of strength, but this iron lump in front of her seemed to have something special about it.

"About how strong is this iron lump?" Zi Yan asked.

"In terms of overall strength, he is invincible below the Seven-Star Dou Sheng level. If he encounters a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, he should be able to hold them back for a while. However, he cannot kill a Six-Star Dou Sheng because a Six-Star Dou Sheng has the ability to teleport, and he cannot be captured by a Six-Star Dou Sheng."

Xiao Li had a high opinion of the Holy Phoenix. This was the war puppet he had created. Unfortunately, due to the limited materials, it was probably the best he could do in the Dou Qi Continent. If he wanted to further enhance it in the future, he would probably have to wait until the Great Thousand World.

"Ziyan, take me with you. How long will it take to get to the Pill Tower?" Xiao Li asked.

"It won't be long, we'll be there in half an incense stick's time. Are you in a hurry?" Zi Yan's lips curled up slightly.

"Half an incense stick's time? That's fast! It would probably take me an hour or two to fly by myself. The star field is estimated to open in three days, let's go tomorrow. Ziyan, what are you doing?"

"Since we still have time, let's continue!"

"You! Don't come any closer!"

"Hehehehehehe!"

Three days later...

The square was still bustling with people, all eager to see what the legendary Three Thousand Burning Flames were like.

In the sky, Xuan Kongzi and the other two were ready. Xuan Kongzi announced loudly, "Those entering the star field, prepare."

Swish swish—

Ten figures appeared in the sky; they were all among the top ten in this Pill Gathering!

They are: Wang Ming, Xiao Yan, Mu Gu, Fen Laoguai, Yao Yan Mojun, Qing Hua Laoguai, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Tang Zhen, and Song Qing. Xiao Yan, Wang Ming, and Tang Zhen stood together, exchanged glances, and nodded slightly.

Mu Gu glared venomously at the three giants of the Pill Tower before turning to Wang Ming, but he dared not provoke Wang Ming.

Wang Ming is a Transcendent Dou Zun, and most importantly, Wang Ming's disciple is the Yin Yang Saint. Even if Mu Gu is very bold, he wouldn't dare to mess with the Yin Yang Saint.

Mu Gu learned this from the Three Heavenly Venerables, the Great Martial Venerable! Six of the original nine Heavenly Venerables have died, all killed by the Yin-Yang Saints. Even the former Deputy Palace Master died a violent death!

Mu Gu was only targeting Xiao Yan, and he would never dare to provoke Wang Ming. However, he had an important mission at the Pill Tower. If the mission was completed smoothly, the Palace Master would personally give him an extremely generous reward!

It is said that this reward can at least allow Mu Gu to reach the level of a half-saint.

In the sky, Xuan Kongzi and the other two quickly formed hand seals. Then, an incomparably vast soul fluctuation spread from their bodies. Immediately, everyone saw that the void sky suddenly fluctuate violently, and then, a pale silver spatial gate appeared in everyone's sight.

"On this trip, this elder will lead you into the star field, and he will explain the rules to you in detail."

Xuan Kongzi introduced the rather old man to everyone. The old man had white hair and beard, and his eyebrows drooped to the sides of his face, but his body was exceptionally upright, and his whole person was full of energy and spirit.

The elder personally led everyone into the star field.

Xuan Kongzi and the other two were stabilizing the passage, and Xuan Kongzi quickly sensed something.

"Wow, quite a few people have come! But no matter how many come, our Pill Tower will accept them all!"

Tianyinzi and Xuanyi also noticed all of this. All they needed to do now was stabilize the space, and a great battle would soon follow.

. . . . .

Within the star field, the old man said nothing and led ten people deep into the star field.

After traveling for a while, they encountered another old man, who was the (Outer) Danta Elder Qiuling.

"Master? What are you doing here?" Song Qing asked in confusion.

Qiu Ling bowed slightly to the old man, then came to Song Qing, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen's side.

"The three of you come with me. I've remembered that as direct descendants of the Pill Tower, your reward isn't the Three Thousand Burning Flames; it's somewhere else."

Qiu Ling used an extremely hasty excuse to take the three away.
